Daniel Hart is a multi-instrumentalist whom after coming to China as a member of the band St. Vincent, is back.  This time on a more extensive, solo tour which will bring him to Chongqing on Saturday, November 6, with some tough competition in the form of Taiwanese pop mega-star Jay Chou performing at the same time across town.  Along with playing Violin and Guitar, smartshanghai is reporting that he also uses a Nintendo Power Pad to dance out drum beats.  Pretty cool if you ask me. 

Here's a track from Daniel's band The Physics of meaning.

the Cave Singers
The next two artists come not only from out of town, but out of the country.  The Cave Singers, from Chongqing's sister city of Seattle.  Having been described as indie-folk, lo-fi folk, and our favorite freak-folk (whatever they are I assure you they rock), will play on Sunday(9/19).
